with Gordon Neill, MBA, Oscar

WINNING:Winning is a multi-award winning silent-ish clown show. It's an underdog story of a loveable loser who can't seem to ever succeed no matter how hard he tries. "Tony Robbins" plays a key supporting character who motivates our hero to keep going, but once Gordon hits rock bottom he’ll have to face his fears on his own.

WINNING:Winning is the culmination of several years of creative development by Gordon Neill, directed by Isaac Kessler. Premiering in its full form at the 2024 Edmonton Fringe Festival, the show won the prestigious 2024 Artists’ Pick Award and subsequently the 2025 Artists’ Pick Award at the Cincinnati Fringe.

Gordon Neill is the founder of Sweet Action Theatre, Toronto's only clown specialized theatre and the home for the ridiculous. As a creator, teacher and performer Gordon has led clown courses such as Brunch (taught alongside Isaac Kessler and Ken Hall) and Silent Musical (taught alongside Clarke Blair). His diverse performance experience includes a "4-yes" performance on Canada's Got Talent, the award winning show WINNING:Winning and an Oscar win in 2002 (it's a long story). In his spare time he is a Managing Director of Funding and Liquidity at a Canadian pension plan.
